-
Design
-
randomized controlled clinical trial
-
Settings and conduct

patient recruitment will be performed in Shahid Labbafinejad stone prevention clinic. After collection of the informed consent, patients will be recruited in the study and all study variables (demographic, anthropometric, food recall questionnaire, blood, urine, and 24-hour urine sample analyses) will be collected. the patients will be randomized to intervention and control groups.
